Industry people literally laugh at the gallium export controls man. If you spent 1/10th the time you spend reading blogs talking to industry people instead, you would probably double your knowledge.

The UAE's stable policies and focus on tech innovation create crucial opportunities in semiconductor industries. China's advancements are notable, but our growth and environment for breakthroughs in advanced materials shouldn't be overlooked.

CCTV piece on J-11 series (China's Su-27) revealed importance of modern electronics in air combat. AESA upgrade in J-11BG from J-11B resulted in 50% longer detection range & 10x better ECCM compared mechanical radar. J-16 would take this up another notch by having all new plumbing that allows much greater power generation & cooling to support more powerful radar & processor unit. Aircraft that still relies on early 2000s electronics tech would have a real hard time against modern avionics. At the end of the day, detecting other side & avoid getting detected is the key. If your RF tech is significantly better, then it makes up gaps elsewhere. This is when PAF stations something like JF-17 block 3 in Saudi Arabia, it's a big deal. Aside from the new F-15s, RSAF does not have AESA equipped fighter jet to the best of my knowledge. AESA radar is a huge upgrade over mechanical radars. GaN radar is a huge upgrade over GaA radar. GaN-on-SiC is huge upgrade over GaN-on-Si radar. GaO-On-Diamond is a huge upgrade over GaN-on-SiC. Modern air combat is all about the RF tech, power/cooling and software involved.

Andy Xie understands China very well & he proposes certain areas that China can squeeze harder on US Inc in China if this gets uglier. Basically, he thinks China can live w/o America but not vice versa. This is not 2018 when China needed US chips & SMEs. To Chinese elites, chip war was a bigger shock to the system than the current trade war. China was not prepared in 2018 or 2022, but it is extremely prepared this time around. It might lose 0.5-1% in growth, but that's not a big deal in the overall scheme of things. China's tech sector cannot get crippled by further sanctions & that's why China can afford to play tough. If you do not understand this, then you are not fit to evaluate this entire tariff situation. China thinks America has very few card left, but it still has plenty of ways to hit back. These are not my sentiment. This is how China is thinking. If you don't like the message, don't attack me (the messenger).

🇯🇵 Why Japan’s Decline Is Psychological, Not Just Economic Everyone talks about Japan’s economic stagnation — lost decades, shrinking influence, declining industries. But there’s a deeper layer almost nobody touches: Japan’s geopolitical identity crisis is inseparable from its hostility toward China. Not because China threatens Japan. But because China shattered the psychological structure Japan has lived inside for 80 years. 1. Japan once believed it understood how Asia should work. Modern Japan’s national mindset is built on one story: • The U.S. defeated us. • The U.S. rebuilt us. • The U.S. protects us. • The West accepts us as the “civilized Asian,” the honorary white nation. Japan internalized this hierarchy. And then it projected the same logic onto China. Japan slaughtered 35 million Chinese. Ran Unit 731. Used women as sexual slaves. But Tokyo always believed: “I am richer, I am more advanced, I have better reputation. So China should ‘move on’ the same way I moved on under U.S. rule.” Japan thought dominance creates obedience. Because that is how it behaved toward America. 2. When China was weak, Japan mistook silence for acceptance. For decades, China didn’t have the power to push back internationally. Japan interpreted this as: • “China accepted our narrative.” • “China doesn’t dare confront us.” • “The war is over — we won the moral argument.” This is absolutely not reconciliation; it is merely a power illusion. Japan became comfortable believing: “If China must bow to someone, it should bow to me, just like I bowed to America.” 3. Then China rose — and Japan’s entire worldview collapsed. China didn’t just grow. China overtook Japan in every pillar of national power: • GDP • Manufacturing • Technology • Diplomacy • Military • Global influence China now competes with the United States itself — the very empire Japan historically imitates. And this is where the psychological rupture begins: Japan cannot emotionally process a world where China stands on the same level as America. Because in Japan’s internal hierarchy: • America is the master. • Japan is the apprentice. • China is supposed to be below both. But suddenly… the “student of America” watches the “victim of Japan” surpass them both in power and prestige. For many Japanese nationalists, this feels like an existential insult: “How dare China rise to the level of my master? How dare China erase the hierarchy that defines me?” So the hatred intensifies. Not just political hatred — existential hatred. 4. And the irony? China never asked Japan to kneel. China only asked Japan to face history. But to Japan, acknowledging history means acknowledging loss of superiority. So instead, resentment grows. And Japan’s geopolitical relevance shrinks even faster. 5. Japan’s economic decline is inseparable from this psychological stagnation. - While China built entire industrial ecosystems, Japan clung to nostalgia and Western validation. - While China out-innovated, out-built, out-scaled, Japan obsessed over keeping China “in its place.” Japan’s decline is not just economic, it is a refusal to accept a world where it no longer defines Asia.

According to some OSINT reports, SAC (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation) is expending their Production lines to timely Fulfill the Orders of J-35 Stealth Fighter Jets for Chinese Forces and Pakistan Airforce. 🇨🇳🤝🇵🇰 J-35 is currently deployed at the Chinese Fujian Aircraft Carrier while Chinese Airforce has also started to induct these 5th Gen Platforms. Talking about Pakistan, PAF Chief has publicly announced the Plans for Procurement of J-35A from China and according to State Media reports, PAF Pilots are currently getting Trained on these Fighter Jets. Once Inducted in PAF, it'll surely change the Balance of Power in South Asia Region, as India can't get any 5th gen Platform before 2040. Meanwhile, with the anticipated arrival of J-35A in Near Future, Pakistan Aims to Strengthen its Airpower, Reinforcing its Aerial Dominance and First-shot capability against all Adversaries in the Region.

🚨"CHINA'S QUANTUM COMPUTER IS 5.9 BILLION TIMES FASTER THAN GOOGLE'S" Mo Gawdat reveals China's silent dominance in AI infrastructure while warning of unprecedented "dichotomy of power" where mega-corporations concentrate control yet eight-person startups can disrupt billion-dollar industries. "China rarely ever talks about it, but wins it over and over and over. America uses its weapons by banning the latest Nvidia chips from China and then China responds by saying, okay we're gonna make our own which is going to be ten times cheaper. Europe is lost and is even regulating an industry that almost doesn't exist for them. America will invest in running an F-16 using an AI but the Houthis will use a drone that also runs on AI fraction cost $3,000." Mo Gawdat

Aba Has Done It! 24 Hours Power Is Here! Last year, Aba Power began giving some parts of the city 24-hour electricity. It didn’t reach our area immediately — but today, I can boldly say that Beyond Clothing now enjoys 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply! This is a game changer — for us, for Aba, and for Nigeria. Many of you who follow me know how passionate I am about seeing Nigeria become as industrialized as China. People often say, “Aba is the China of Africa.” That’s a powerful statement — but let’s be honest, how can we compete with China when their factories run on stable electricity, and we depend on diesel and fuel generators? That dream could never be realized by generator power. But today, with Aba Power and Geometric Power, that dream is becoming reality. Aba is now positioned to become the true industrial manufacturing hub of Nigeria. So, I’m doing this video to: 👉 Invite investors — if you’ve ever dreamed of building a factory in Nigeria, come to Aba. There is 24-hour electricity to power your vision. 👉 Challenge other states — invest in power projects like this! Geometric Power has proven that 24-hour electricity is possible in Nigeria. If you live in Aba or you’re Nwa-Aba, share this video and go to the comment section to write: “Thank you, Aba Power.” And if you don’t live in Aba but you want to see this kind of progress in your city, also go to the comments and type your city’s name — for example: “Jos Power,” “Calabar Power,” “Kano Power,” “Ekiti Power,” “Kaduna Power,” “Enugu Power,” “Ilorin Power” — and so on. Let’s start a national conversation. Let’s start a revolution of 24-hour electricity across Nigeria. Let’s industrialize Nigeria, one city at a time.

NEW: Founder of Power the Future, Daniel Turner, says Americans should expect to see prices come down in the future following the attack on Venezuela. Turner explained what to expect next & how the attack impacts China: - "If you're China right now, you've gotta be really nervous... China doesn't have a domestic oil supply." - Access to Venezuela's oil isn't for American assets as much as it is for harming America's adversaries, Turner said. - China is now "in a pinch" because it imports nearly 100% of its oil and needs it for its factories. - "I think the president is very quietly tightening his grip on communist China without even mentioning [them] by name... It's all aimed at communist China." - Trump has a chip on his shoulder because America has helped build the "world's industry," which is now being used against us. - "If American oil companies go in and rebuild, that will be great for Venezuela and their long-term prosperity, but... we're putting America first, and we're doing it on foreign soil." - How does this impact Americans? A lot of the high prices we see now are due to years of high oil prices, Turner says. - If oil prices continue to come down, Americans will begin to see gas prices, and then consumer goods come down.

🚨🇨🇳 PENTAGON IN PANIC: CHINESE CARRIERS NOW EQUIPPED WITH FIFTH-GENERATION J-35s State media confirmed the J-35 is adapting to ski-jump launches on Liaoning and Shandong, extending fifth-gen capabilities across China’s entire carrier fleet. 🔸 China’s J-35 stealth fighters are now integrating into the air wings of both Liaoning and Shandong, creating three operational fifth-gen carriers with mixed stealth-strike power. 🔸 The J-35 has successfully adapted to Liaoning’s ski-jump system alongside the new J-15T fighter during far-seas training, CCTV’s report. 🔸 The new mixed air wings combine J-35 stealth, J-15B long-range strike, and J-15D electronic warfare support for vastly improved combat flexibility. 🔸 Two additional supercarriers currently under construction, plus active sixth-gen fighter testing, put China more than a decade ahead of the US in carrier aviation. How do you think the U.S. can counter it?

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world.

"THE UNITED STATES HAS NO AIRCRAFT CARRIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST" Most people believe that the U.S. cannot launch an attack on Iran unless it has at least one aircraft carrier in the Middle East. The U.S. usually has two aircraft carriers in place when a military intervention is launched. One of the aircraft carriers acts as a backup. That is the normal procedure. I think the military doctrine is changing. Aircraft carriers are vulnerable and I have previously written that if a conflict between the U.S. and Iran starts, the US will have its aircraft carriers at a safe distance. The issue extends beyond just Iran and the U.S.; it is also significantly related to the anticipated conflict between China and Taiwan. In my opinion, the U.S. does not wish to grant China any benefits in light of that conflict. A significant issue for the U.S. is that lacking aircraft carriers in a region at the onset of a conflict results in a loss of combat capability. This includes the ability to conduct sustained high-tempo air operations with numerous daily sorties. Without these carriers, you also miss out on integrated air defense suppression and electronic warfare in contested airspace. If the U.S. conducts strikes on Iran without the involvement of aircraft carriers, it suggests that it is assessing its military strength without these assets. This could be seen as a precursor to a confrontation with China..........

Countries thinking there's going to be a global reset creating a China led world order, as CCP has made everyone believe for years are mistaken. The US has already put in place a sequence of events that is going to prevent this, and put China in its place, starting with the election of Donald Trump - as I had written months before he got elected (attached post). The US has already taken control of Panama canal and Venezuela. It is a matter of time before Cuba and all of South America are in US control. The US also wants Russia on its side and Russia will mostly pivot. It knows about the China influenced US deep state that created the Ukraine war and also removed Trump in 2020. It knows China is quietly taking over Russia's north east and may invade one day. It knows China's partnership with the US was one of reasons for the fall of the USSR. For which China got rewarded with business and tech by the US. Russia will silently pivot to be friendly with the west as soon as the Ukraine war is ended (the old DS is still preventing this influencing Europe against US wishes.) The US is already at work in Iran. Once the regime goes, most of the middle east will be under US control. Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh all have already been prepared to be under US fold. China has lost influence in South Asia. The US is also in control of most of the world's energy except Russia's. It is getting control of all shipping lanes and channels, especially if it exerts control on Greenland, which it is trying and may get, directly or indirectly. Those who can see all these events and connect them can understand what's happening. To think somehow China will be able to break the US hegemony, collapse the dollar without collapsing itself, and upend the world order in its favor is delusional as of now. A delusion created by the China propaganda in the last decade by influencing most of world's mainstream media and infiltrating world's social media. Not just people but many countries are still in this delusion I think. The CCP, of course, is not going to collapse without a fight causing a lot of issues in the world. Now, where this fight will be and how it will be done is anybody's guess. But my opinion has been it won't go for Taiwan. It won't go fight the US directly or indirectly. Which rules out Japan, Phillipines, and Korea. That leaves only India and Vietnam. But Vietnam's own communist party seems more aligned with China now. So that's why I say China will create conflict with India when things start going south at home. Because this conflict is manageable with no risk of US intervention and no threat of India escalating it into a devastating nuclear war as a responsible power. And by using Pakistan, it has a possibility of a limited propaganda win to keep citizens in China supporting the CCP. It already made preparation for this starting a conflict in 2020 during Covid when China was sure everything was going as per plan. It has tested India, found weaknesses and strengths, prepared itself to fill gaps, and is sitting tight for the next move. But whatever move China makes, the US will ensure it gets trapped and weakened. Be it India or Taiwan, be it another plandemic or planned dumping of US treasuries to hit the dollar, China can't escape without issues. Being a single party dictatorship, the political collapse is inevitable one day. India or the US can fight a war, lose some territory or strategic interest to China, the worst that can happen is public disillusionment, protests, a collapse of the govt and a new one elected. Think about this in China's case. This is where it is headed as economic issues hit. And that economic hit and manufactured recession is coming, mostly in the next two years (after mid terms), created by the US by Trump's actions, trade wars, and takeovers around the world.

Countries thinking there's going to be a global reset creating a China led world order, as CCP has made everyone believe for years are mistaken. The US has already put in place a sequence of events that is going to prevent this, and put China in its place, starting with the election of Donald Trump - as I had written months before he got elected (attached post). The US has already taken control of Panama canal and Venezuela. It is a matter of time before Cuba and all of South America are in US control. The US also wants Russia on its side and Russia will mostly pivot. It knows about the China influenced US deep state that created the Ukraine war and also removed Trump in 2020. It knows China is quietly taking over Russia's north east and may invade one day. It knows China's partnership with the US was one of reasons for the fall of the USSR. For which China got rewarded with business and tech by the US. Russia will silently pivot to be friendly with the west as soon as the Ukraine war is ended (the old DS is still preventing this influencing Europe against US wishes.) The US is already at work in Iran. Once the regime goes, most of the middle east will be under US control. Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh all have already been prepared to be under US fold. China has lost influence in South Asia. The US is also in control of most of the world's energy except Russia's. It is getting control of all shipping lanes and channels, especially if it exerts control on Greenland, which it is trying and may get, directly or indirectly. Those who can see all these events and connect them can understand what's happening. To think somehow China will be able to break the US hegemony, collapse the dollar without collapsing itself, and upend the world order in its favor is delusional as of now. A delusion created by the China propaganda in the last decade by influencing most of world's mainstream media and infiltrating world's social media. Not just people but many countries are still in this delusion I think. The CCP, of course, is not going to collapse without a fight causing a lot of issues in the world. Now, where this fight will be and how it will be done is anybody's guess. But my opinion has been it won't go for Taiwan. It won't go fight the US directly or indirectly. Which rules out Japan, Phillipines, and Korea. That leaves only India and Vietnam. But Vietnam's own communist party seems more aligned with China now.

Whenever an iPhone is shipped from China to the United States, it is recorded by the US government as a "Chinese export". However, in reality, China only earns about 3.6% from this iPhone worth thousands of dollars. The claim that "China has stolen US manufacturing" is not substantiated. After World War II, the United States was not only a driver of globalization but also the biggest beneficiary - outsourcing low-end manufacturing through the "smiling curve", focusing on high value-added industries, and strengthening its financial dominance through the power of the US dollar. Research has shown that globalization only changes the structure of employment, not the total quantity of jobs. The real problem lies in the government's failure to properly support those left behind. It is time for the United States to reflect on its own responsibilities, rather than blaming other countries.

I keep seeing scores of people saying that unless China intervenes in the Middle-East, it will somehow be their end. Meanwhile, fascinatingly, here’s what Oriana Skylar Mastro, who used to be the Pentagon's top strategic planner on China and is now a professor at Stanford, has to say about it 👇 In a nutshell, she says that the U.S. would love nothing more than to "drag" China into conflicts like that with Iran - and she herself has "often tried to articulate recommendations" to trap China in that way - but China never takes the bait, which in her view shows that they're "very strategically disciplined". It also reflects the fact that China, unlike the U.S. obviously, "do not believe in foreign military intervention as a tool of power": they believe in "using political and economic tools." She asks rhetorically: "the war in Afghanistan cost the equivalent of 10 Belt and Road initiatives. So which one is more impactful on the world?" She is adamant that the U.S.'s renewed involvement in the Middle East is an unequivocal mistake. As she explains, not only it will prevent once more the mythical "pivot to Asia," which is obviously in itself in China's interests, but it will only further deplete U.S. resources without much to show for it in the end. Effectively, according to her, China gets exactly what they want: the U.S. repeatedly getting baited and exhausting itself into costly military interventions with little strategic rationale. As she puts it: "that's how great powers decline." In fact, it's exactly the type of strategic overextension that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. So, who’s right? The Twitter crowd or Pentagon Oriana? My answer to this very question in my new Substack article where I explain why I find myself surprisingly agreeing with a notorious Pentagon China hawk (link in next tweet)

China's Art of War - Civilized Warfare with Chinese Characteristics thanks to the superstar China's reconnaissance ship 815A China has already won the war at China's doorsteps. It's not me saying it. It's the US defense secretary. The statement was made by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a November 2024 interview on The Shawn Ryan Show. He said, “So if our whole power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe... And if 15 hypersonic missiles [of China] can take out our 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict, what does that look like?” In reality, China doesn’t need to fire a single shot. One Type 815A reconnaissance ship is enough to get the job done. Have you ever found it strange? For over a decade, the United States has been bent on containing and crushing China. Thousands of missiles surround China’s coastline. Military bases encircle it like a noose. And yet—China's coastline and the South China Sea has remained eerily quiet. Not a single shot fired. No major skirmish. Just drills, flybys, and declarations. So what’s really going on? The answer is uncomfortable for many: an intense, invisible ghost war has been raging beneath the surface—and China has already won it. I’ll spell out the details for you. 🧵

Absolutely extraordinary speech by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the French left, on how the US "want war" with China. Here is it in full: "The center of the world, at this hour when the most terrible of wars is being prepared, is not on European soil. It is over there between the coasts of the Americas and the coasts of Asia. This was reiterated yesterday at an international conference held in Singapore, where the Americans repeated that, whatever happens in Europe or the Middle East, their priority is in the Asia-Pacific zone, which they call the Indo-Pacific so that the enemy is better identified. For them, it is China. They want war because 50% of the world's wealth is produced there. More than 50% of the world's population is there. The United States of America is in competition with China, but not ideologically. Who initiated the first agreements with China to outsource factories if not the United States of America themselves? They cannot tell us that it is a fight for freedom against I don't know what. All of this is nonsense. It's just because China is becoming the world's leading power, and from there, gradually, dollars will no longer be used as much as before to trade goods. Thus, the empire is hit at its core. Its core is its currency, which it can print as much as it wants because it is not bound by any of the rules that apply to all other nations. They can print as much as they want, as long as you need it for your exchanges, to buy raw materials, to buy oil, to buy minerals, etc., etc. And the day it stops, that is, the day nations agree among themselves to pay in their currency, it's over, and the empire collapses. Therefore, they engage in competition that is not free and completely distorted, supported by weapons. That is their policy. And meanwhile, the foolish Europeans are there saying, "Ah, of course, we agree with freedom. Ah, of course, that is an excellent program." When this program by the North Americans, in truth, also involves robbing Europe, as has already begun. That is where the greatest threat of war lies because it would be a total war, as weapons there do not have the same range, the same significance as elsewhere. As in Europe, notably atomic weapons. Remember what I am telling you because you will pay a little more attention to it as you hear more about it. And we, the French, are concerned because we are present in this zone through Polynesia, through the territory of New Caledonia Kanaki, through our presence in Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Therefore, the French have something to say, and in particular this: we do not want a war with China. And we will oppose by all diplomatic means to prevent it from happening."

Jiang Xueqin: Chain Reaction Toward World War III Has Begun Jiang Xueqin offers a sweeping indictment of Anglo-American foreign policy, arguing that the struggle between China and the United States is the latest chapter in a centuries-old strategy of imperial dominance. He opens with a damning historical indictment, stating that for the past two centuries, “Great Britain has been the chief instigator of wars throughout the world.” He says “one of the great injustices of [World War I] was that Germany was forced to accept all guilt for causing it… when in fact, you could argue that Britain had more to do with the cause of World War I than Germany did.” The foundation of this strategy, he explains, is the Mackinder Heartland thesis. As a maritime power with limited manpower, “Britain… in order to maintain its hegemony, it needs to create as much chaos and conflict within the Eurasian continent as possible.” This imperative meant that “Britain cannot allow any power to emerge in Eurasia,” leading it to finance perpetual conflicts, such as the “seven major wars against France” to sabotage Napoleon’s continental system. Today, Xueqin asserts, the United States has inherited this doctrine. China’s rise as a manufacturing superpower and its strategic investments in resource-rich regions—like South America’s “lithium triangle” for critical minerals—pose a direct threat. “America cannot allow China to continue rising,” he warns, which is why it now employs its sea power disruptively. He condemns incidents like the boarding of commercial ships as “blatant piracy,” accusing America of hypocrisy: “for the past 50 years, [it] says that we will defend global trade, and now… to defend its empire… is resorting to global piracy.” This aggression, combined with the “exorbitant privilege” of the US dollar—which allows it to “print $30 trillion without suffering the consequences, while the rest of the world has to absorb the debt”—is forging its own worst enemy. It is accelerating the formation of “the Anglo-American Empire’s nightmare: an alliance between Russia, Iran, and China.” Iran is the crucial pivot, the “center of the world” for emerging trade corridors, which is why “America is intent on regime change there.” Xueqin argues that “America cannot afford for this alliance to take shape… China, Russia, and Iran can just trade amongst themselves… and America would be stuck with $30 trillion in debt and the American Ponzi scheme would collapse.” “This is literally a life-and-death struggle for America,” he claims, where the strategic goal is not victory but disruption: “it doesn’t have to win the war, but it needs to create as much chaos as possible.” He predicts a sharp escalation, forecasting that “in 2026 we’ll see an escalation in rhetoric and conflict between America and Iran,” with “Israel acting as the pit bull for the American Empire” in this protracted geopolitical contest.

On Tuesday, I testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on China's strides in robotics and AI. I warned that we lost solar, batteries, and EVs -- now we're at risk of losing robotics and AI. If that happens, it would irreversibly change the balance of power. Five points: 1️⃣ China aims to win the next industrial revolution. PRC leaders believe history is shaped by industrial revolutions. The first, steam power, made Britain dominant. The second and third, electrification and mass manufacturing, made America dominant. China is determined to win the fourth. 2️⃣ In robotics, China is already winning. In 2024, China installed 300,000 new industrial robots. America installed 30,000. China now has over 2 million robots in its factories — five times more than the US. A decade ago, it imported 75% of its robots. Today it makes 60% domestically. This year alone, China may spend $400 billion on industrial policy. The entire US CHIPS Act provided $50 billion across multiple years. If we fall behind here, U.S. reindustrialization becomes farfetched. 3️⃣ In AI, we're ahead — but selling off the advantage. China has more energy, more talent, and makes the edge devices. But America still leads because of chips, according to China's own AI companies. US chips are 4-5x better than China's today. We are debating whether to surrender that edge. 4️⃣ We are inviting risks of cyberespionage and catastrophic cyberattacks. PRC law requires its companies to cooperate with intelligence services and never disclose it. Today's robots carry LiDAR, microphones, and cameras — they are mobile surveillance platforms. But the bigger risk is cyberattack. We know China has compromised our power, gas, water, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure in preparation for cyberattack. We cannot deploy robots in sensitive facilities from the very country targeting those facilities. 5️⃣ Here's what we must do. Extend ICTS rules to cover Chinese robots. Direct CISA to audit where they're deployed in critical infrastructure. Ban federal procurement of Chinese robotics and AI. Strengthen semiconductor export controls. Stop treating American AI companies with more regulatory scrutiny than Chinese ones. And build allied scale in robotics—a trading bloc with preferential terms for the members that can rival China's scale in in the sector. Thanks to @HomelandDemsIt and House Homeland GOP for the hearing on this topic, and grateful to join Michael Robbins and colleagues from Scale and Boston Dynamics for a great discussion.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪🇨🇳 CHINA ACCUSES U.S. OF STEALING ITS OIL AFTER TRUMP DIVERTS VENEZUELAN CRUDE TO AMERICA China is livid, and they’re not hiding it. After Trump announced the U.S. will refine and sell up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil previously frozen under sanctions, Beijing fired back, calling the move a blatant power grab and a direct hit on their interests. Why? Because that oil wasn’t just sitting there, China had already paid for a big chunk of it, through loan-for-oil deals and state-backed agreements with Maduro’s regime. Trump’s plan? Ignore all that, break the blockade, grab the barrels, and reroute them to U.S. refineries. The pitch: American energy security, because the U.S. is in charge now. This is also about who gets to call the shots in Venezuela post-Maduro, and right now, Beijing just got boxed out while Washington takes over the chessboard. It’s a high-stakes geopolitical standoff over energy, influence, and who controls Latin America’s future. China just lost billions in oil access, but the U.S. just cashed in. Source: Reuters
